Aileen Alvarez-Tranquilo, RGC, a guidance counselor, extended the services of the College of Arts and Sciences Extension and Community Services to the partner barangay Zone 10, Talisay City. This community aims to serve our partner who are ready to work with us in meeting our goals in the academe. Guidance counselors Maria Luna Dela Cerna, RGC, Nick Alayon, RGC, and Antonia Sitiota, RPm will serve as community counselors while Joel Valencia, PhD, Art Alegarbes, Marijo Chua, and Ricky Acanto will serve as seminar and training facilitators.

Community counselors play a vital role in society by helping countless clients as they try to bridge the gaps between the lives they are currently living and the lives they seek. Community counselling will greatly help in improving our community’s way of dealing with problems.
